Garlic Parmesan Chicken Alfredo Pasta
Pan-seared chicken breast and fiber-rich broccoli tossed with whole wheat pasta in a creamy, garlic-infused parmesan sauce that feels velvety on the palate.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz whole wheat penne
1 cup broccoli florets
0.25 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp dried oregano
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat penne according to package directions until al dente.
While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken breast seasoned with half the salt and pepper.
Cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through, then remove from the pan and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and broccoli florets with a splash of water, covering to steam for 3 minutes until the broccoli is bright green.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, grated parmesan, dried oregano, and the remaining salt and pepper.
Drain the pasta, reserving 2 tablespoons of the starchy pasta water to thin the sauce if needed.
Return the pasta and chicken to the skillet with the broccoli, then turn the heat to low and stir in the yogurt mixture until everything is coated and creamy.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.
